AED algorithm board 25×25 cm is an information board with a diagram of the procedure to follow during CPR with an AED defibrillator. It is made of foamed PVC, resistant to abrasion and weather conditions. The board measures 25 x 25 cm.
The diagram is clear and has been designed so that it can be used even when emotions run high. The board shows the order of actions, so a person who has to use an AED has it in front of their eyes. The board is intended for places where a defibrillator is available, e.g. in companies, public offices and schools.
The set includes the board only. It does not include a defibrillator or a cabinet. AED algorithm board 25×25 cm has a square format of 25 x 25 cm and is made of foamed PVC.
Why is an AED algorithm board 25x25 cm needed next to a defibrillator?
In sudden cardiac arrest every minute counts, and under pressure it is easy to miss a step. AED algorithm board 25×25 cm reminds you of the order of actions right on the board. The casualty's survival may depend on a bystander taking action, and a clear diagram makes it easier to carry out the first steps.
If you are only just planning where to place a defibrillator, also see indoor AED cabinets. The board is a separate piece of equipment and complements such a display.
How to use the AED algorithm in practice?
It is best to place the board where it will be visible to a person reaching for the defibrillator. The procedure itself always starts with assessing the safety of the scene. If the casualty is unresponsive and not breathing normally, call for help on 999 or 112, start chest compressions and switch on the AED as soon as possible, following the device's instructions. The board organises these steps, but it does not replace a first aid course.
You can read more about the device itself in the article Chapter VIII – Automated external defibrillator (AED).
